You know how this works, right?

If not, here's the deal: the Four Seasons Maldives Surfing Champions Trophy is an invite comp where a chosen few  - this year it's Rasta, Dorian, Brad Gerlach, Sofia Mulanovich, Harley Ingelby, and Neco Padaratz - drink cocktails by night and ride assorted craft by day. Over a number of rounds they're judged on single fins, twins, and thrusters, with the winner being the person with most points after it's all done. Today was for singleys.

Rasta was his usual stylish self, highlining for speed and laying back through carves, while Neco threw down steroid-injected turns using the full rail in an old school style.

Rastovich surfed the same single-fin he rode at last year’s contest, a board shaped by good friend, Joel Fitzgerald.

“It’s a fun board, I don’t actually ride single-fins that much so it’s kind of a new challenge to try and ride one as they can be pretty tricky. I’m looking forward to the twin-fin as I pretty much ride them exclusively so that will be really fun. It’s neat to see each other surf on boards we don’t usually surf, it’s a really cool format.”

Stay tuned for the twin fin round tomorrow...
